Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a possible cardiac arrhythmia, related to chronic changes in go the myocardial tissues. For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, thyroid hormone levels and blood electrolytes).
A beta blocker or calcium channel blocker would help reduce cardiac arrhythmia. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
